VoiceGecko is a free and open source desktop dictation product that converts speech to text locally on your device. The site describes it as a way to press a shortcut, speak, and get accurate text on your clipboard. Its core purpose is to make dictation faster and more private than cloud-based speech tools. VoiceGecko says transcripts stay on your device, audio is processed locally, and no account is required to dictate. ## O que VoiceGecko pode fazer? ### 100% local speech recognition Speech processing runs on your device rather than being uploaded to VoiceGecko servers. The site says transcripts stay local and audio is never uploaded. ### Clipboard-ready dictation The homepage says you can speak, stop processing, and get text ready on your clipboard or pasted directly where you are working. ### Global shortcut access VoiceGecko includes global keyboard shortcuts so you can start and stop dictation without switching away from the app you are using. ### Custom dictionary You can add your own words, names, or jargon so they are transcribed the way you want, and the dictionary stays on your machine. ### Local history and storage Dictation history is saved in a searchable local SQLite database, which the site describes as staying on the device rather than syncing to the cloud. ### Optional support plan The product is free and open source, with an optional $5.99 per month support plan that funds ongoing development but does not change the product itself. ## Casos de uso ### Desktop dictation in everyday apps Use the shortcut-driven workflow to turn speech into text in common desktop tools such as Slack, Discord, GitHub, Jira, and Telegram. ### Writing longer technical notes The site positions VoiceGecko for developers who want to speak detailed plans, edge cases, or architecture notes without typing them from scratch. ### Prompting AI tools VoiceGecko is presented as a way to speak natural-language prompts for AI systems instead of spending time typing and revising them. ### Capturing terminology accurately The custom dictionary is meant for names, product terms, SQL terms, and other vocabulary that users want transcribed consistently. ## Perguntas frequentes ### Is VoiceGecko really free?
